Jeremias 27:5 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 27:5

I have made the earth, the man and the beast that [are] upon
the ground
The earth was made by him on the first day, and man and beast on the sixth day, of the creation; the earth is still supported in its being, and man and beast are continued on it in succession: this is mentioned to show his right and authority to dispose of the earth, and all in it, at his pleasure; which is founded on his creation and sustaining of it, and all creatures in it: which was, and is, as he says, by my great power, and by my outstretched arm;
for nothing less could have created the original chaos out of nothing, and brought that into form and order, and produced out of it such creatures as man and beast; and nothing less than that could continue it in being, and a succession of creatures on it: and have given it unto whom it seemed meet unto me;
some part of it to one, and some to another; and more to one than to another; but to none according to their merit, but according to his own sovereign will and pleasure; see ( Psalms 115:16 ) .

Jeremias 27:5 In-Context

3 Depois envia-os ao rei de Edom, e ao rei de Moabe, e ao rei dos filhos de Amom, e ao rei de Tiro, e ao rei de Sidom, pela mão dos mensageiros que são vindos a Jerusalém a ter com zedequias, rei de Judá;
4 e lhes darás uma mensageem para seus senhores, dizendo: Assim diz o Senhor dos exércitos, o Deus de Israel: Assim direis a vossos senhores:
5 Sou eu que, com o meu grande poder e o meu braço estendido, fiz a terra com os homens e os animais que estão sobre a face da terra; e a dou a quem me apraz.
6 E agora eu entreguei todas estas terras na mão de Nabucodonozor, rei de Babilônia, meu servo; e ainda até os animais do campo lhe dei, para que o sirvam.
7 Todas as nações o servirão a ele, e a seu filho, e ao filho de seu filho, até que venha o tempo da sua própria terra; e então muitas nações e grandes reis se servirão dele.
